    There’s a couple of articles I’ve read recently on Burnout which suggest three types:

    1. Overload – the most typical type, resulting from overwork, or frantic work

    Great interview, and interesting to note what they say about measurement – accept that it’s imperfect and don’t get bogged down in it.

    *36% of attendees were observed making a contribution
    *27% of meetings start on time
    *18% of meetings end on time

    So here’s a few tips…

    • These stats are fascinating John!
      Thank you for the tips – there are some really good pointers here. This made me reflect that, particularly for regular meetings, we often just turn up rather than consider some of the actions you have recommended here.
      Thanks for sharing John – this is very helpful.
